Owl Carousel not showing up in my widget

Hey Pricilla!

Is your widget using any kind of AJAX or tabs or anything like that?

Just using the shortcode in a simple widget. Nothing fancy.
[foogallery id=”390″]

The shortcode appears in the widget area as text instead of showing the carousel. Using Genesis framework + Epik child theme

I’m sure I’m doing something stupid simple incorrectly but the theme does use shortcodes. I use this theme often for projects and adjust to skin it uniquely.

But the other project I used Owl Carousel with was a Genesis + Altitude child theme. I’m using the same settings but it simply isn’t showing up.

What next?

Ah… then you don’t have shortcodes enabled in widgets by default. Add this to your theme’s functions.php file and you should be good to go:

add_filter( 'widget_text', 'shortcode_unautop');
add_filter( 'widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

Let me know how that goes. Thanks!

Thanks Matt,

Worked like a charm, much appreciated!
